The order, currently for several BEKUM blow moulding machines, enables the two companies to continue expanding upon their succesful and longstanding business relationship.

Klaus Dienes, Managing Director of Dienes Packaging GmbH, said: “In order to manufacture qualitatively high-grade packaging, while taking our requirements such as sustainability and high production availability into account, resource-saving technology and a reliable partner are vital. This is why we chose BEKUM.”

Options for additional systems have also been discussed, and Dienes Packaging is responding to the growing demand for its stackable 5-15 litre canisters; the company aims to further boost its production capacities at the Kaiserslautern site.

The blow moulding machines have been ordered with continuous BEKUM extrusion heads with spiral mandrel distributors, enabling Dienes Packaging to reduce the amount of material used and to the change times of materials and colours. Spiral mandrel distributor extrusion heads are designed for a lengthy production period, as well as for uniform homogeneity of melting and temperatura. Furthermore, they can be used with almost all blow mould-compatible thermoplastic synthetic material.

This enables a larger production window, an increase in article quality, and a reduction in weight. A partial wall thickness controller is used for ideal parison manipulation for the canisters, which in turn enables uniform production of both lightweight and stacking canisters.

Dienes Packaging is represented in 17 countries and supplies more than 2,000 customers around the world. On a production area of 45,000 square metres, a total of 2,000 different products are manufactured and marketed.
